Why Keto Coffee ?

The reason Keto coffee is so popular is because it tastes like a creamy Latte and provides healthy fats that help provide energy for the brain and metabolic fuel for muscles. Other benefits are that it boosts energy and alertness.

If you are not familiar with the Keto diet, it is similar to Paleo, but on Keto you eat very low amount of carbohydrates and a high amount of healthy fats. This causes your body to go into a Ketogenic state where the body burns the stored fat you have for fuel.

If you are new to Keto Diet, here are some articles that I found useful. (1)(2)(3)(4) On the Keto diet you are essentially changing your body’s fuel source over to dietary fats instead of glucose(sugar/carbs). Keto diet is a very effective way to reset your metabolism and lose weight relatively quickly.

Required Medical Disclaimer –Talk to your medical professional if you have any pre-existing conditions before starting a strict low-carb diet like Keto.

Is Keto Coffee Dangerous ?

I read a lot about Bulletproof Coffee (aka Keto Coffee) before trying it. There is a lot of confusion online about Keto coffee elevating certain cholesterol levels, higher levels of fat, and not providing a lot of nutrients.

Understand that Keto coffee does contain higher levels of saturated fat but it is intended to be used in conjunction with a low carb plan where you are eating highly nutritious meals the rest of the day. Typically Keto coffee is drank in the morning when you haven’t eaten since the prior evening and therefore you body is in a metabolic fasting state.

Yes, Keto Coffee does have saturated fat and most nutrition experts recommend limiting saturated fat to under 10% of calories a day.

Traditionally, the consensus was that saturated fat is bad but there is more and more medical evidence in the last decade that contradicts that. Read this article which summarizes all the medical research/studies about saturated fats and concludes that natural saturated fats are healthy.

In summary, a singlecup of Keto coffee(see recipe below) seems fine as a meal replacement in conjunction with a proper nutrition plan where you are eating lots of nutritionally dense foods like dark greens, grass fed meats, green smoothies, and quality fats. If you are drinking a Keto coffee as a meal replacement and then not eating properly for the rest of the day then it can be a problem.

Keto Coffee with a Blender

In order to make the Keto coffee creamy with a “frothy top” you need to make it with a blender. Honestly, any blender will work as there are no hard ingredients to blend.

WARNING: Some blenders don’t want you mixing HOT Liquids or HOT Ingredients because the steam builds up pressure in the container with the lid on. This pressure can cause safety issues or leaking. Any top loading blender with an exhaust vent or removable lid works for Keto Coffee. You have to be more careful with any blender like a bullet blender where you twist blade on tight with the jar.

Despite the above warning, I do make my Keto Coffee with a Nutribullet because I only blend it for less than 5 seconds immediately after screwing the blade onto the jar. It works great.

If you blend hot liquid any longer that 5 seconds in the Nutribullet, then you increase the risk of leaks and building up pressure in the jar.

Keto Coffee Ingredients

I’ve seen 100’s of various “Bulletproof” Keto Coffee recipes. I tried a few different butter coffee recipe variations but I stick to the one that is healthy and simple.

I should mention that with all these different Keto coffee recipes I have seen various ingredients used. I read a bunch of articles trying to understand the different ingredients and the “core” recipes all use:

Step 1: I use an Aeropress to make my coffee and 2 scoops of Peet’s Major Dickason DECAF coffee (I cut out caffeine about a year ago so I just make my Keto coffee with decaf coffee because I love the taste of coffee and the Peet’s Major Dickason is the best DECAF I’ve tasted).

TIP – Make it a Keto Mocha: Add 1 Tablespoon cacao powder for a mild chocolate taste. (Cacao NOT Cocoa, learn more about Cacao here. It is wonderful for you.)

Final Thoughts

A lot of people are diehard about Bulletproof coffee and some take it to the extreme. In fact, some people make their Keto coffee with up to 3 tablespoons of butter. That is too much !

I read a lot of information about Keto coffee before trying it. My recipe above offers a nice balance of moderation that works great to stimulate the body and mind in the morning.

Please remember that it is made to work in combination with a diet rich in nutrients, greens, and healthy fats.

Let me know what you think !
